Remember all else who are there

Remem Der AL else VINO are there.
Rule two is, think always of others,
And when you are thinking be sure
To try and discover their best points.
Don't dwell on the faults they should cure
If oaly you look and eDdeAvor
You always may find something good.
The most disa greeable is never
Too utterly horrid and rude.
Remember this one has had trouble,
That other one may have feeble health,
This man has bee soured by poverty
Another no less so by wealth.
These two are but just the exceptions.
For OUT OF the people you meet
you'll IND only onS who il sour
In proportion to ten who are sweet.
Think always the best things about them
Is will not be- hard if you try
And then you can always say truly.
In this thing he's better than -
Inc third rule is. Make them all happy.
Look round to see who is left out;
Cheer up the'sby girl In the corner,
Amuse the ola man with the govt.
Take care of the pale looking lady.
And mind that she's not in the dr;Iught,
But don't let her see what your dong,
Ii need be with love mix some craft,
Talk psliticS now to the statesman.
Converse witA another on trade.
Talk of home and friends 80 he lonely boy
And of flowers and woods to the maid.
II ever you talk of people,
Remember the rule says "Al."
And you must not be entertaining one
At the cost of another's fail.
It's your mission t. make all happy,
And never to drop speech
That could carry sorrow to any heart
Wherever your words might reach
After ali, it's Bible maxim
That puts it shortest and best:
BE Kind be courteous, be full of Love-
You nay safely leave the rest.

How our next neighbor faress
dow OF the woes and many cares
That rise like mountains in their way?
And who of Us can say
We know of that large world we never see
The world of poverty?

How much of pain smiling face conceals,
How little of the sunlight ever steals
Into the lives of those who seem the happieSt?
The one who makes us merry with his jest,
May he not carry in bis heart 30 free
wound he does not wish the world to see?
Who of us love-
And loving, cherish but the empty name
And feed our hearts on naught; the flame
That burns so brilliant and SO bright,
That lights OUR path, as do the stars at night,
Goes out as quick as heavens lightning fl ashes,
And leaves us-aShes

AN EMBARRAssINo MIsrAKF.

A sombre-looking wagon, bearing long
and high white box, was driven up to a
Fourth avenue residence few days ago.
Sust as the man and the boy in attendance
| lifted the box from the wagon and carried
1t slowly up the steps, two elderly ladies of
the kind that fairly dote upon funerals,
moved up TO the stoop in procession.
They gazed at the box.

over her spectacles, "I'm afraid that your

was a small rubber tube.

''Nor l, Samantha. We must know all
about it.''
'Surely. Veil find out when the OBJ

At this point in the interview the man
and the boy caIue down the steps.
"Would you kindly tell us when the
funeral is to take place?" asks Samantha
of the boy.
"Wot funeral?''
''The funeral that that 'ere coffin belongs

"Wot cofIin?''
"The one you just now carried up the

Then the hoy smiled until he looked as
if his whole head had suddenly been blown
off.
